FC Studio apps asking for serial but not accpeting it

I just went to use DVD Studio Pro and it asked me for my serial number. I pasted it in but it would not enable the OK button. OK, I thought, this is part of FCStudio so I launched FC5 and got the same thing. In fact I launched all of the apps and the same thing happened.
I then remembered that my logic board was replaced last week.
Could this be the problem and how can I get the apps to accept my serial?

ANSWER: Re-Install !!!!
I tried removing the ID files but to no avail.
I struck this issue while at home, away from my install discs.
On arriving at work I grabbed the discs and loaded them. The installer asked for the serial and I pasted it in. NO GO. So I deleted that and retyped it in.
Voila, the continue button worked and the installer proceeded.
Launching the apps also invoked the registration dialog.
(Of course I then needed to go through updating the things!)
It indeed seems likely the ID files written on instal hash or in some other way combine the serial with a hardware ID (probably logic board serial) and check this key on each launch.
It would be good if this was explained somewhere in the install docs so that users where aware of it.

Lightroom 4.3 asks for serial but not for login info for cloud

I istalled the 64bit version of Lightroom 4.3 but it asks for a serial number bu there is no place for log in info. I know I can use the application manager but I ONLY want the 64bit verion. I can't find any options to select unless I am just dumb. Who installs both 32 and 64 bit at same time anyway. 64 is always better with the more memory allocation available as I got 32GB of it.

Months ago, I had a routine clearout of old software boxes etc and chucked out my Lightroom 1.0 box. A couple of weeks ago I reinstalled Lion on my mac to find that I cannot register Lightroom. I have the 3.0 upgrade serial, the 2.0 upgrade serial, but the 1.0 was on the box..
I followed the instructions above to find the files in crashplan form before the fomat that hold the registration details. I have tried placing them in the location described, but it doesn't seem to work.
The serials (or something) are in the file, but given in the string that is difficult to decipher - and doesn't work in the registration screen, wrong size and a mix of letters and numbers rather than just numbers as my 3.0 serial is.
Any suggestions for what I could do? Could I send the strings in to Adobe to be deciphered? Perhaps move files around a bit more?
Thanks in advance,
Rog.

HT4946 I want to transfer backed up info from old 3G phone to itunes to new 4S, it is asking for passWORD but not accepting my itunes password, is it something different?

I had completed a back up from my old 3G phone onto itunes to then restore the info on my new 4S, however as i attempted to restore the previous back up onto the new phone it asked for a passWORD (not passcode), but it doesn't accept the password i use with Apple ID to log on, so when would i have set this password? When i first ever set up my phone on itunes? wouldn't it be the same as my Apple ID password?

Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

Activation did not work, apps asking for serial number

Started a trail of a number of CC apps. When trial ran out, I purchased the monthly full suite service. All of my apps now require signing in, which results in an unrecognised serial (which I don't even get a chance to enter) and then asks for me to enter in a serial, which I have never been given. My understanding is that CC does not use serials, only my AdobeID.

OK, so I started going though these things and got stuck here:
Log in as an administrator to edit the hosts file in Mac OS.
In a Finder window, choose Go > Go To Folder.
Type /etc.
Select the hosts file and open it.
Back up the hosts file: Choose File > Save As, save the file as hosts.backup, and then click OK.
Search the hosts file for entries that reference activate.adobe.com (for example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com) and delete these entries.
Save and close the file.
Number "c." just says "select the hosts file" without telling you what the hell the hosts file is!!! And I cannot find anything there to do with Adobe

Final Cut Studio Keeps Asking For Serial Number

I use an imac. I currently use final cut studio 3. After approx. 2 maybe 3 weeks the software will stop working. It boots up to the registration screen. I will enter my name and the orginal serial number but it tells me the serial number is not valid. What is causing this and how can I prevent? If I unload software and reload, it works but will kick me out again after uses.

Go to the following location: Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Pro Apps.
Delete the file Final Cut Studio System ID.
The next tme you launch one of the apps it will ask for your serial number - hopefully for the last time.
If it happens again, something is causing that file to be corrupted, probably by writing its own data there.
Try the above anyway, it might just stick this time.

Lightroom 5.7 just installed, asking for serial number, not listed in online account info

My online account info shows serial numbers for versions 2,3, and 4 of Lightroom, but not 5. I've been using 5.2 for about a year, since I signed up for the cc photography bundle. My cc desktop app shows only PS cc and PS 2014 installed. How can I get a valid serial number to activate the LR 5.7 I just installed as an update?

I have the same thing happen to me. Every time I start Aperture, it asks for the license. Once I have entered the license key it lets me use the application. However, the next time I use the application again, i get the same problem. I have tried reinstalling the application, and am asked for the license key at the beginning of the install and again once the package is started. To no avail. And I get no other messages.
I called Apple Support, and after booking a call with a support person (a Genius?), I got one who, after reading the summary of my problem in the service request, said simply "this is for Aperture? Aperture is a Microsoft product, you have to call Microsoft". And that was that.
Please, anyone have any ideas?

Office Web App - Use for viewing but not for editing

Hello,
i'm searching for a possibility to use the web app server only for viewing documents but not for editing.
I want to accomplish this for docs and ppts.
So the possibility to edit in Web App should be greyed out or even better, vanish completely.
Best regards
Stephan

Ask for password, but not accept, and how to chang...

Hi!
I tried to switch from my old e-mail adress to my new, because the older is not alive anymore (delete back in 2010), and I want to switch to the new, but then, Skype asks for my password, and I give it, but always returns with a not correct password error. What can I do?

I'm afraid that you may be confusing two different 'passwords' - there's your Apple ID (the user name and password that you used to get into these forums) and then there's your computer user name and password - usually two seperate user names and passwords.
If you want to change your password for your user account on your computer, go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock the preference pane. Then you can select your user name and change your password there. Changing a user name is a bit complex and I don't think you want to try that!

CC Apps asks for Serial..

I tried changing the app language to Int. English, but no luck. I uninstalled everything several times and started from scratch byt downloading the CC app manager and then install an app. Still doesn't work :-( I'm really screwed now, as I can't get any work done..

sign out and then back in to your cc desktop app, Sign out, Sign in | Creative Cloud Desktop app
if that fails, make sure there's no connectivity issue with adobe's servers, Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
and if that fails to reveal the issue, contact adobe support , https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

DVD Studio Pro and Soundtrack Pro always ask for Serial

I use FCP X and sometimes Logic Pro X but the latter doesn't have nearly the capabilities for dialog editing that Soundtrack Pro did. Now that I'm on Yosemite (have no idea is that the problem) I can only open Soundtrack Pro or DVD Studio Pro by re-entering the serial number. I've seen this before with OS updates, but now it asks for me to re-enter serial every time I try to open them. Even if they were open a few minutes ago and I haven't restarted. Any ideas?

See this thread and see if it helps:
